About the author

Ahmed Sharif (Bengla: আহমদ শরীফ; 1921 – 1999 CE) was an educationist, philosopher, critic, writer and scholar of medieval Bengali literature. Born in Chittagong, Sharif retired as a Professor from University of Dhaka in 1983. Sharif is widely recognized as one of the most outspoken atheist and radical thinkers of Bangladesh. He was a legendary figure in free thought (self proclaimed) movements of Bangladesh. He was a rational humanist, who left behind a legacy for those fighting fascist ideas, autocratic views, communalism and superstition. Whatever he said or wrote caused a lot of furore in intellectual circles. He had been living a secluded life to avoid the wrath of a section of the public who thought his views to be too dangerous for the establishment. He was a controversial and misunderstood personality among his contemporaries. He was controversial because of his outspoken views against the establishment, intellectuals and political leaders, and above all religious and parochial outlooks. He was always reluctant to be associated with government agencies. Moreover, he was often black-listed from the national media.

He was honored with Ekushey Padak in 1991.

অসাধারণ বিশ্লেষন। পুরো রচনাবলীর বিশাল অংশই বিভ্রান্তিকর হলেও, এই প্রবন্ধে আহমদ শরীফ মনে আঘাত করতে সক্ষম হয়েছেন।
